if the soup base is really good i end up drinking the soup and get full
@TypeRNammer yes I noticed this too, you'd see bowls of pho pre-pandemic maybe rise up to $7-10/bowl.
there's the 1 place by kingsway/victoria with the red tarp that used to have 'em at like $12 with a choice of drink, we went there recently and items were like $15 +/- no drink but they're not the only place with these prices.
sorry i'll rather eat a bowl of ramen than pho at that price
kintaro sounds like a mortal kombat character
